The darkest side of the Light … (03/17/17)
“The darkest side of human nature is our ‘us versus them’ instinct. It is a form of selective sociopathy in which we place our family and close friends in a hierarchy above others. It’s not the feelings that are ‘bad’ — of course it’s great to love our families, but we also need to explode that loving shit outward to the downtrodden, the broken-hearted, and even the fucking enemy. As if the hierarchy wasn’t bad enough, our reflexive innate desire is to outgroup people and animals who we arbitrarily deem to be different than us. History and social studies have proven time and time again that people are easily and naturally capable of being quite cruel to any being we perceive as the OTHER.
The good news is that there is a cure to such cognitive dissonance. It starts with the mind and is carried through by the ‘heart.’ The moment you embrace this objective truth that no-one is inherently better than any other or more worthy of life, this is your first true chance at freedom beyond instinctive bondage. You can awaken your humility and TRUE HUMAN POTENTIAL!!! The potential happiness of this world depends on it. Choose your intentions wisely, my friends.” ~ Scotty Mühlleib
